Leaders of the Group of Seven (G7) have urged US President Donald Trump to bring the ongoing war with Iran to an immediate end, stressing the need to reduce tensions in the region and ensure the security of the strategically important Strait of Hormuz.
According to US media reports, during a meeting of G7 leaders, President Donald Trump claimed that Iran was close to surrender and that the conflict was unlikely to continue for long under the current circumstances.
He said Iran no longer had a senior official capable of formally announcing a surrender.
Speaking at the meeting, Trump also said the situation in the Strait of Hormuz was improving compared to earlier and that commercial vessels should resume their operations.
He emphasised that securing the vital maritime route was essential for global trade.
The US president further said a comprehensive and lasting solution to the current crisis was necessary to prevent a similar war-like situation with Iran in the coming years.
Meanwhile, G7 countries also stressed the need for joint measures to maintain stability in the region and protect global trade routes.
